Most scenes together: Boris Grushenko & Sonja (10)
If you so much as come near the Countess, I'll see that you never see the light of day again.
If a man said that to me, I'd break his neck!
I am a man!
Well, I mean a much shorter man!
I have no fear of the gallows.
Priest No?
No. Why should I? They're going to shoot me.
You think I was made in God's image? Take a look at me. You think he wears glasses?
Not with those frames.
Nothingness. Non-existence. Black emptiness.
What did you say?
Oh [sighs], I was just planning my future.
Countess Alexandrovna You're the greatest lover I've ever had.
Well, I practice a lot when I'm alone.
Father Remember that nice boy next door, Raskolnikov?
Yeah.
Father He killed two ladies.
What a nasty story.
Father Bobak told it to me. He heard it from one of the Karamazov brothers.
He must have been possessed.
Father Well, he was a raw youth.
Raw youth, he was an idiot!
Father He acted assaulted and injured.
I heard he was a gambler.
Father You know, he could be your double!
Really, how novel.
Come to my quarters tomorrow at three.
I can't.
Please.
It is immoral. What time?
Who is to say what is moral?
Morality is subjective.
Subjectivity is objective.
Moral notions imply attributes to substances which exist only in relational duality.
Not as an essential extension of ontological existence.
Could we not talk about sex so much?
"Violence is justified in the service of mankind!"
Who said that?
Attila the Hun.
You're quoting a Hun to me?
I do believe that this is truly the best of all possible worlds.
Well, it's certainly the most expensive.
Oh, Boris, I'm so unhappy.
Ohh, I wish you weren't.
Voskovec and I quarrel frequently. I've become a scandal.
Poor Sonja.
For the past weeks, I've visited Seretski in his room.
Why? What's in his room? Oh...
And before Seretski, Aleksei, and before Aleksei, Alegorian, and before Alegorian, Asimov, and...
Okay!
Wait, I'm still on the A's.
How many lovers do you have?
In the mid-town area?
Sex without love is an empty experience.
Yes, but as empty experiences go, it's one of the best.
That is so jejune!
Jejune? You have the temerity to accuse me of quoting to you out of jejunosity? I'm the most june person there is!
But, if there is no God, then life has no meaning. Why go on living? Why not just commit suicide?
Well, let's not get hysterical. I could be wrong. I'd hate to blow my brains out and then read in the paper that they found something.
Boris, Let me show you how absurd your position is. Let's say there is no God, and each man is free to do exactly as he chooses. What prevents you from murdering somebody?
Murder's immoral.
Immorality is subjective.
Yes, but subjectivity is objective.
Not in a rational scheme of perception.
Perception is irrational. It implies immanence.
But judgment of any system or a priori relation of phenomena exists in any rational or metaphysical or at least epistemological contradiction to an abstracted empirical concept such as being or to be or to occur in the thing itself or of the thing itself.
Yeah, I've said that many times.
Boris, you can't be serious, you're talking about Mother Russia.
She's not my mother. My mother's standing right here, and she's not gonna let her youngest baby get shrapnel in his gums.
Mother He'll go and he'll fight, and I hope they will put him in the front lines.
Thanks a lot, Mom. My mother, folks.
I got screwed.
How?
I don't know. This vision came and said I was going to get pardoned, and then they shot me.
You were my one great love!
Oh, thank you very much. I appreciate that. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm dead.
What's it like?
What's it like? You know the chicken at Tresky's Restaurant?
Yeah.
It's worse.
